Mr. Speaker, the minister does not know that the program only covers 3% of the people in Atlantic Canada. What are the other 97% supposed to do? Nova Scotia has surpassed the 2030 carbon reduction emission targets and will reach net zero by 2050 without a carbon tax. Nova Scotia is getting results with technology, not taxes. Why let outcomes drive the government's policy when it can increase taxes? The carbon tax will add 14¢ more a litre to home heating fuel when 40% of Atlantic Canadians are experiencing energy poverty.
Will the Liberals listen to Premier Houston, implement his plan and commit to not imposing the ineffective carbon tax?
